Last Time I was over, the only van left was a CGN that was used on the Accident
Train ex Thevenard.One CGN went to Quorn (so at least one is preserved) and a
8300 (ENVA) joined it as well. I don't know if the Thev CGN got the chop.
Before AN canned guards, it was easy to ride in the vans.
And if you get the chane, its a real adventure
